My Resume and Biography"                     Dship1.gif (11303 bytes)

First, a little background about Myself and these pages I present.

I have been working in organizational development since 1980. I see a lot of managers and CEOs working hard to develop systems and operations that would create a successful and profitable company. The irony of their situations was that the systems and operations had little to do with their success, but the key was the working and management environment of the people operating the systems.

A part of this success is attributed to how each department, and every employee in that department, understands their role in the show. During any interaction with an employee, the customer will decide if this is a good place to do business. Oddly enough, they may not particularly remember the employee singularly, but will remember the company or the department that employee represents by how that employee treats them.

In the most successful companies, there is also an understanding by the manager of the working environment they created for the employee. If the employees are in a critical, non-supportive environment, then that is how they will treat each other and the customer. But, if the manager is able to set up a supportive environment that encourages the people to want to work well together, do the job as designed, and, when necessary, go above and beyond to take care of the customer, then the customer is delighted and the company wins.

A lot of the ideas I will present through these pages are based on the above attitudes, a result of a wonderful life spent meeting some very special people and having some very unique experiences. I have worked and consulted in all types of companies and industries, but a common thread is the people and the importance of (or the effect of) the relationship the managers creates with the people to build a strong department or company.

I will be continuously adding to this index.
